Re: leaking yellow oil :-(

[Guest guest]

I am pre-op and taking Xenical. The oozing orange oil sound similar to what

I experience passing oil through because of the Xenical - always orange,

always oily. K.

[Guest guest]

Ok, why is this happening, soiling my pants and

chair, and I haven't eaten high fat food, any

ideas? Has anyone undergione this mis-adventure?

I am about 11 weeks post op...any insight wil be

MUCH appreciated.

Lenny,

I leak a vivid orange oil. It's more than a leak when propelled by

gas. I stay away from high fat food, too, but just think: egg yolks,

nuts, pie crusts, most meats, cheese, sausages and other foods that

don't look fatty do indeed contain fat. Nuts, for example contain

~80% fat. Many prepared foods (e.g., frozen meals) have significant

fat content. I am only 6 weeks out, but I have been leaking/spraying

right along--a mini-OPEC. To the point that I have been using

Maxi-pads, strategically positioned, to protect my under- and

outer-wear. Heck, if Mel can wear panty hose... Yeah, I

know; I'm no Mel (...YET!).

I also wonder, with this rapid weight loss, if any of the fat stored

in our cells is discharged as oil in the stool rather than being

metabolized. My formal training, years ago, tells me " no, " but I

still wonder. Also, I am still taking Lipitor, which interferes with

cholesterol production in the liver, and I wonder if that is somehow

adding to the regular oil slick that I leave behind.

YMMV,

Yes it is exactly the same thing. Not all post-ops experience this.

I took Xenical as a pre-op and I had terrible oil slicks as a post-

op. I had the oil problem worse on the Xenical. The oil problem

post-op is not a constant thing it comes and goes as I eat different

foods, and it does not leak to the degree I had on Xenical.

Lenny:

This does happen. Not pleasant but it's one of the short term side

effects. When it happened to me (a couple of times) I thought that

it would ruin my life as I knew it. But it stopped. Now I expected

(and got) it when I ate pepperoni pizza the night home from the

hospital. But I got a couple of times when I didn't think I deserved

it. But not in the past few months. Time will cure the problem.

Regards.

Always is an excellent choice ... especially the long ones or the

overnights. You can put the long end toward, well, your end. )

I agree, the always with wings does a good job of protecting, and they have a special liner so they keep you feeling drier. Also the Ultra Thin ones are very comfortable and are made with the stuff that absorbs , like the thin baby diapers. If you went swimminmg with it it would swell up, but for everyday use they are very comfortable, have good sticky tape so they stay in place ect.
